The environment can be a grim topic, but our approach to it doesn’t have to be. It’s a no brainer that free radicals are harmful to our bodies and the environment.

Now, that is a superfood! We find it easiest to use Spirulina in smoothies, dips, and dressings, but there are tons of ways for you to enjoy it!
